Though the past week brought stress and tears, I’m still counting my blessings… 1168 – A houseful of friends for a coffee and dessert get-together. While they were here, I just enjoyed them, rather than trying to get photos of everyone, which is why I have this photo of a mostly empty dessert table. 1169 […]
Our Christmas Card 2011!
December 7, 2011
I spent quite a while brainstorming Christmas cards for this year. Ours always features a family photo — because, after all, we are photographers! Finally I came up with an idea, something totally “us.” But then Brandon and his fiancee Diane had crazy-busy schedules, and the few times they were available, either Lindsey wasn’t available […]
Changing Hats
October 5, 2011
We were invited by one of the venues we’ve worked with to be the preferred photographer at an open house for brides who are planning their weddings. We loved the folks at this venue, so we were excited about this, and we’re hoping to work with some of the great couples we met there. (There’s […]
A Story of Gratitude
June 3, 2011
On June 1st of 2010, I began counting my “one-thousand gifts.” I have now been counting for a full year, posting every week, and I’ve counted beyond my original goal of 1000. I am by no means stopping the practice of counting my gifts, but I have firmly developed this habit thanks to the accountability […]
Fun Antique Find
August 7, 2010
For some reason, shopping has always been the way my mom and I do quality time. We don’t necessarily buy anything, but we chat and browse. Nowadays, we’d prefer to rummage though a great “junk store” than shop for clothes. Today, while doing a little antiquing with her, I found this positively delightful Popular Photography […]
Bridal Expo & Old Friends
August 2, 2010
Yesterday, we had a booth at the Bridal Expo. It was the first time we’ve done this, and we were very pleased with how it came out, and with the response we received. It was fun talking with so many excited brides and a few brave grooms! Our booth wasn’t fancy, but we don’t want […]
Weekly Wrap-Up: So Tired!
July 30, 2010
This week, Lindsey had Color Guard camp: eight hours of flag-and-rifle-twirling fun each and every day! She really did have fun, but after a week of scorching-hot weather, and the majority of their practice time outside, she is one tired girl. Yesterday, they ended with a water-gun fight to cool off. Kathryn and I had […]
Road Trip (aka 36 Hours in a Car with the One I Love)
May 25, 2010
Yesterday, Ken and I returned from a whirlwind trip to Connecticut to shoot a wedding. (I’ll be posting about it with lots of photos on the business blog later this week!) We couldn’t find what we considered reasonable airfare, but we’d committed to this job, so we decided the best thing to do was drive. […]
Looking for forever
April 20, 2010
A few weeks ago, we drove out to meet up with Lindsey’s little brother for a short visit. He was getting ready for a baseball game and Lindsey tossed the ball with him for a while and watched him practice batting, but we had to leave before the game started. He didn’t realize Lindsey wouldn’t […]
